My wife wants to visit her friend in Houston over the Christmas weekend. She will be staying at her friends place while I decided to round-up a couple of friends and go visit some place around Houston.
My initial plan was to go camping but I have camped only twice till now, both times during summer. I have no experience of camping in winter and no idea about any good places to camp around Houston.
Would love to hear your thoughts on the following:
1. Camping during Christmas weekend. Feasible?
2. Best place to camp around Houston.
Any other suggestions are also welcome. We have been to Houston a couple of times so not really looking to see anything in the city.
Thanks Mikey. Been to Galveston a couple of times so will give that a miss. Brazon Bend State Park, on the other hand, seems interesting. Will check that out.
It's nice. A bit polished, as all the access roads are paved etc. but there are lots of trails and a nice interpretive center, and it's just out of town.
Winter camping isn't bad in SE Texas. This is actually when I camp in TX, during the summer I head to the mountains of WY, MT, CO. Just wear lots of layers and a sleeping bag liner to add extra warmth to your current summer bag. If you are car camping and weight isn't an issue, take extra blankets/padding to put under your sleeping bag if you are not using an air/foam mattress.
Some great tips there. I will be getting a air-mattress. I just hope it doesn't rain at that time.
Can I expect many people out camping this time? Or will it be mostly empty?
